mtrkustoms Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Hi all, I present my second train creation in bricks here An invented shunting engine to power my RENFE Bed-car 9600 Series This is not a nice, or real shunting engine, but works well and have enought torque to move the cars without problem. and work in all Lego train curves The motor is a 88002, that have more power that I thought, the tip is to put weight on it to prevent slippage of the wheels. Is full PF with a custom Li-Ion battery (2500mAh in this case) Detail of the custom PF Li-Ion Battery Pulling the Bed-car The No-Conventional coupling A Conventional Old-magnets coupling I hope you enjoy it Quote
JopieK Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 I like the idea, especially as a prototype, also your couplers. But the loc looks a bit unfinished especially when I compare it to your fine cars! B.t.w. how do you recharge the lipo? I was also looking at a custom battery, especially also for 7760 like shunters. Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Very nice solution for the battery! From where that Li-Ion battery comes? Quote
lightningtiger Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Very nice solution for the battery! From where that Li-Ion battery comes? That battery looks like one from a cordless phone or similar judging by the 2 pin connector on it's lead. Anyway,nice little shunter 'mtrkustoms', though that white brick in the cab looks a bit out of place. Brick On 'mtrkustoms' ! Quote
Hey Joe Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Hey! That's a nice little switch engine. I especially like the shape and the smooth bricks. A decal or two would look nice as well I think. Joe Quote
mtrkustoms Posted July 12, 2013 Author Posted July 12, 2013 Jopiek, I charge the battery with a Rc-charger for Ni-mh, Ni-cd, Pb, LiPo and Li-Ion there is a lot of them for 35$ in Rc stores LEGO Train 12 Volts, lightingtiger, This Li-Ion cells comes from a damaged tool in my job, but you can find also in Rc stores in multiple formats, round, flat, etc... It is not a white brick, it is the PF receiver , but i cover the sides with some yellow bricks, and yes its a prototype, im working in a modification of the LDD of my Renfe 252 Engine with my detailed standard, and one weird experiment, a Car transport wagon with technic liftarms Quote
